The Federation of Asian Veterinary Associations\u2019 Fukuoka office, known as FOF, opened at Acros Fukuoka in August 2023. Prefectural employees have been assigned there for training, with the prefecture also paying office rent and electricity costs. Rent exceeded 1.76 million yen a month and totaled more than 65 million yen over roughly three years through June. The prefecture said it would consider its support in light of an administrative reform council review, while maintaining that cooperation with FOF contributes to infectious-disease measures in Asia. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.web.nhk\/newsweb\/na\/nd-20261009de57344\" target=\"_blank\">NHK News<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/news.ntv.co.jp\/n\/fbs\/category\/politics\/fsabfa596233434974a06ca9cecc951172\" target=\"_blank\">FBS News<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/fnn_one-health-office-news_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C789&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"789\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-180318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/fnn_one-health-office-news_2026_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/fnn_one-health-office-news_2026_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/fnn_one-health-office-news_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C577&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/fnn_one-health-office-news_2026_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\nPhoto: FBS News<\/p>\n<p>Get Fukuoka and Kyushu\u2019s top stories delivered to your inbox.
